Yup, another 14K no hitter this evening.

Let me rephrase: for most of the world's scientists and healthcare workers it came out of nowhere. I'm open to the idea that the virus came out of a lab, OR that it came out of a meat market. It DEFINITELY came out of China, and they definitely covered it up for long enough that it spread around the world.

I think a good bit of the Covid misinformation has stemmed from trying to solve an immediate problem that basically came out of nowhere. Because of the circumstances, advice and guidelines have been constantly changed as time has gone on as a result of new information and data that we simply didn’t have a few months before. There’s also been a tremendous amount of politicization of the issue, which has led to tons of misinformation from people who really have no idea what they’re talking about, but instead are regurgitating what other people, who also don’t know what they’re talking about, are telling them on social media.

I don't know that it's fair to say this, although I will say i'm fairly confident Davis would've done similar things to what Sigler did if he had the sort of talent silsbee has had the last 7-8 years. For quite awhile Sig just had to manage personalities and stay out of the way, but I was very impressed with the job he did this past season.

metroplex basketball is a joke. i've seen more team loyalty at pickup games in the park.

Honestly not sure what it means. But I know a lot of people who claim not to trust the government, while at the same time claim not to trust the vaccine because it wasn’t approved by the government (FDA). I never really understood the logic, but I hope that if this was the only thing holding some people back that they are now encouraged to get the shot.

Personally I think it's insane that one guy with no medical background can make an order that goes against the statements and advice of the overwhelming majority of doctors, hospitals, medical experts, epidemiologists, etc.

This kid from South Dakota is unreal. In his 7 starts in the playoffs (districts, state, regionals, and LLWS), he's pitched 37.2 innings, and thrown 526 pitches. He's allowed 1 hit, 0 runs, and struck out 100 batters. 37.2 innings means he's retired 113 batters in that time. So including the hit, a grand total of 14 batters have been able to put the ball in play against him.

I'd like to see some bloodwork or a breathalyzer. If she's innocent, she wouldn't be the first person who failed a sobriety test for reasons other than inebriation, like the example you gave. But there are also plenty of closet drinkers out there who hide their alcoholism and drinking from those closest to them. Perhaps this could be the case with her as well.

I don't think it's really an assumption of guilt as much as a lack of interest. Where had this been Al Sharpton's wife, and had Sharpton been screaming the same nonsense that West was, there would be a movement of support for her and claims of racism by the media and other activists. But I do agree with you for the most part.

when you're looking for a "reasonable response" from the right, hippy is one of the guys you usually go to. I'm another. Hippy has a point here that I happen to agree with. The media absolutely would've reported this differently if it hadn't been Allen West's wife, but instead an African American democrat's wife.

Unfortunately we’re seeing quite a few breakthrough cases. For the most part the vaccine is at least still protecting people from serious infection, but there are some outliers like your friend and Wosgrad. I was concerned when Todd got sick because he had about as bad of risk factors as you can get.

Where is this located? I’ve been vaccinated and also had 5 or 6 close exposures over the course of the pandemic, but so far no infection, at least with symptoms. I’d love to find out I have some natural antibodies.

Absolutely gutted right now. Todd was a great guy.

On a completely unrelated note about church vans… when I was in high school I went to FBC Bevil Oaks. During that time they sold our church van and got a new one. The guy who bought the old van was supposed to remove the church name from the van, but never got around to it. He apparently had quite the drinking problem, because people kept calling our church to report that the van was parked at Lucky Liquor. Us high schoolers got to calling the new van “The Lucky Liquor II”, much to the fake outrage of our youth pastor.

Yeah, we spent a hot few days at the school I taught at a few years ago when a bunch of copper was stolen from the ACs

This is ridiculous. I want the best applicant to get the job. This woman has decided that if the best applicant is black, she’s not going to hire them anyway. It’s pure racism. I have an equal problem with it going the other way, and better white applicants being passed over for minority candidates, but I also understand that that is a result of decades of hiring practices from those like our friend Eileen here. The fact that people like her still exist makes it difficult to argue against preferential hiring practices for minorities, even though it’s something that I don’t necessarily agree with. I’d love to see a society where the best applicant for a job actually gets the job on merit.

I have no doubt that with the large number of cases there are likely some coincidental deaths. That said, most of the time it’s pretty obvious. If you’re on a ventilator and have your stroke, it’s probably Covid that did you in. Ironically, the exact argument you make is the one I made about the vaccine, and certain folks on here said there’s no way anyone could ever coincidentally die after being vaccinated. And the thing is, we’re talking a few thousand deaths after vaccination, vs several hundred thousand with Covid, and there’s been many times more vaccinations given than Covid infections.

Bingo. A diabetic dies of organ failure due to complications from Covid, and some people want to blame diabetes. But they lived for 50 years with diabetes and didn’t die until they got Covid.

No, he’s not. About 90% of what he posts is stuff like this.

"every" wasn't accurate, but neither is "most", because most could mean 51%. "overwhelming majority" probably suffices.

Yup. Had an extremely close exposure at work Friday to a breakthrough case from someone who had the Pfizer. Glad I had the moderna, but still keeping an eye on things for the next few days.
